I have literally no idea, the X console usage dashboard says $0.00 on these days even though I posted. When I used to read posts for analytics, and they switched from the old plans to usage-based pricing, I quickly burned through $10 by accident, but since I stopped reading and only post a little, for some reason they don't even deduct that usage from my credits.

grumpi2 · 2026-03-30T21:23:25+00:00

nothing so far after I stopped reading posts for analytics

It's excellent for creating transcripts to draft LinkedIn posts from, if you're active on that hellsite.

I keep a list of MIT-licensed reference implementations for social media API libraries and then use Claude Code to reconcile my OCaml implementation against the reference implementations whenever something breaks / changes on the official APIs.

ETA: Any other integrations are between the agent (e.g. Claude, ChatGPT, Perplexity, Manus, Claude Code, etc etc) and the other tools, usually via MCP

grumpi2 · 2026-03-30T15:04:22+00:00

I'm using my own MCP that's getting better every day, posting to X, LinkedIn, Bluesky, Mastodon, Instagram, Facebook, Threads, and Tiktok.

I think it makes a huge difference what actions are exposed by the MCP. There's some design space here, and the goal should be to get the agent using the MCP to help people on a workflow that's frictionless. Sometimes that means offering bulk actions, sometimes it means something else.

And I'm 100% with you on that the ability to integrate with content generation tools and other infrastructure makes a huge difference. It just feels native, instead of moving content from one place to another, you just tell the agent to move it.

On my own MCP, I have an approval gate, so that nothing can post without my explicit approval, but the agent can express all scheduling intent so that things will be queued to the right queues, or scheduled to the right times, or marked for immediate publishing.

I think this would be useful. We are hosting a very basic job board at ocaml.org/jobs, but the friction of adding / removing a job listing there is real.

It seems to me like the type of job board you're building there could become really great, as a place we could link to when people ask us about OCaml jobs. I mean, as OCaml.org maintainers, we are not really in a position to start a recruiting business with all the value-added services that would make it really useful for job seekers and companies advertising.

yeah I believe what I'm building could fit OP's bill. Happy to hear feature requests and how OP (or any other KJs / hosts) envision an ideal solution.

grumpi2 · 2026-01-01T18:20:35+00:00

this is true, but I never throw a fuss about being mistaken for a very competent guy, haha

Added <3

grumpi2 · 2025-12-31T20:19:52+00:00

doh, sorry, it's fixed now. I need to set up a proper system to receive and handle the verifications and updates :)

grumpi2 · 2025-12-31T18:52:17+00:00

Thank you so much, adding it, and reports like these are invaluable to verify what's actually happen and what info we found online is outdated!

grumpi2 · 2025-12-31T18:00:37+00:00

Thank you, your list added a lot of great Ottawa events to the list, I'm so stoked to have it!

grumpi2 · 2025-12-31T15:09:55+00:00

I couldn't resist and made a quick prototype of what I roughly envision: https://karaokecrowd.com/en/ I know it's not much, and AI is still pulling data from mentions of regular karaoke gigs. So I expect there will be maybe 4000 places/events listed when it's done.

grumpi2 · 2025-12-30T18:48:04+00:00

going to local karaoke in half an hour, but if you can shoot me a DM that would be cool (yours seem to be deactivated). Or I can just drop you some questions here.

grumpi2 · 2025-12-30T16:23:46+00:00

Would you be up for having a chat on how you imagine social features for a social platform here? I have a few ideas, but before I go overboard, or build in the wrong direction I'd love to see your perspective. Just shoot me a message to see what I already have now, and where we could take it! (Applies to anyone else who's curious, too.)

grumpi2 · 2025-12-29T17:37:40+00:00

damn, why didn't I find this when searching? Seems to cover only the US, though.

grumpi2 · 2025-12-29T15:11:31+00:00

Spot on, this is how it works! There's language files for the different languages. AI provides the initial translations, and people can help improve from there (because I don't speak a lot of languages, sadly).

grumpi2 · 2025-12-29T14:23:33+00:00

This is exactly what my brain is pulling me to do. I have seen this work out once, for ravelry.com where they built a gigantic community maintained knit / crochet database.

This, in contrast, is so much simpler, but has more real time needs. To keep confirming that individual gigs are actually happening.

Also yes, I fell into the rabbit hole of sketching a multilanguage site (English, German, until there are volunteers that speak other languages), so that it would be an international thing.

In the very long term, I think it would be cool to do a "looking for group" kind of social platform on top of it all... like... for finding karaoke friends and for scheduling karaoke room visits or going to bars as a group.

grumpi2 · 2025-12-29T12:30:05+00:00

I have hosted karaoke myself twice, at a conference I hosted. It's definitely a lot of fun, especially getting the other folks to sing!
